The answer is all about the risk, not the percentages.
In other words, there are only three projects that exceed the minimum WACC required based on the risk criteria:
15% because it exceeds the high risk WACC of 12%
12% because it meets and exceeds the average WACC of 10%
and the 9% because it exceeds the low WACC of 8%
